Outlook 2003 splits URLs over multiple lines when viewed in mutt ... why ?

["Wilkinson, Alex" <alex.wilkinson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Something that has bugged me for a long time is that when people send me URLs
from Outlook-2003, mutt sees the URL split over 2 lines

e.g.

    http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/?parenttopic=Sys
    tem%20Compatibility

If I send the same URL from mutt to myself I get the URL on a single line as 
such:

    
http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/?parenttopic=System%20Compatibility

In the raw Maildir spool file the URL is split also e.g.

    http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/?parenttopic=3DSy=
    s
    tem%20Compatibility

So it looks like the URL gets split over a series of lines in transit.

Does anyone know why ? And how to make this stop happening ?
